I received a surprise package from Three Creeks Brewing yesterday, containing both of the brewery’s fresh hop beers: Conelick’r Fresh Hop IPA, and Sabro Fresh Hop Ale. I’ve had and reviewed Conelick’r already of course, but I’m happy to drink more; and the Sabro is a draft-only beer that looks to have been canned for travel (similar to crowlers).

Details on that beer were included; it’s 5.2% ABV and the tap sheet description says:

A brand new fresh hop experiment from your TCBC brew crew featuring Sabro Hops. We made one more trip to BC Hop Farm in Woodburn to load up on their first-ever-harvest of this recently-developed tropical gem. Sabro is notable for its complexity of fruity and citrus flavors. It imparts distinct aromatics of passionfruit, pineapple, coconut and stonefruit, followed by intense flavors of tangerine, lemon and lime. There’s also a pleasantly surprising kick of hop bitterness within this slightly-hazy and light-bodied pale ale. Fresh Hop Season is the greatest!

It goes without saying that this will definitely show up in the quick review format I’m posting—stay tuned!
